How we migrated from GitHub to GitLab and keeping our workflow

Описание и применение

Команда перенесла все репозитории с GitHub на GitLab, сохранив существующие рабочие процессы, CI/CD и взаимодействие с сообществом.

Задача

The team needed to move all repositories from GitHub to GitLab while preserving existing workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and open‑source collaboration practices.

Результат

The migration preserved all code, issues, and community interactions while transitioning to GitLab’s integrated CI/CD, resulting in a unified platform without disrupting existing workflows.

Migrated issue data, including labels, milestones, and comments, via GitLab’s issue import API. 4. Translated GitHub Actions workflows into GitLab CI/CD .gitlab-ci.yml files. 5. Configured GitLab runners to replace GitHub Actions runners. 6. Updated documentation and URLs to point to GitLab. 7.
